Chapter 1616 Frogampfog (IV)

No. 1g&fog(4)

To renovate an old house, it is often necessary to remove the original decoration. At this time, the rotten and dilapidated structure of the house will be exposed after the shiny surface.

The traditional stone buildings in Paris during the Napoleon III period were made of stone on the outside and wood on the inside. After more than a hundred years, some may have problems with the foundation, and some may have problems with the support columns, such as moisture, rot or termites. The house owner has two choices at this time - repair or tear down and rebuild.

There is no doubt that the Louvre will choose to restore it. Even if the repair cost is higher than the reconstruction, the restoration process requires professionals to repair it step by step carefully. At this time, they will replace the original wooden structure with reinforced concrete. Anyway, most people outside the industry only look at the surface. As long as the appearance does not change, there will be no objections.

Other ancient buildings were not so lucky. They were demolished and rebuilt without budget and coincided with municipal projects such as subway construction. Austerlitz train station is one of the lucky ones. Its station functions have been shared by five other Paris train stations. The remaining vacant parts will be used for other purposes, such as being converted into an anatomy and paleontology gallery. , which is filled with various animal skeleton specimens. These animal skeletons are not artificially classified like the human skeletons in the Paris Catacombs. They are arranged into geometric shapes by the priest according to leg bones, skulls, etc., but they basically maintain their appearance when they were alive, similar to the dinosaur skeletons in the British Museum. .

The cement provided by Pierre Brognier is certainly not the kind of cheap concrete. This high-grade cement does not require plastering, ceiling hanging, wallpapering or wall painting. It can be formed in one go. It is a relatively complicated project. , everything from organizing design to arranging construction and project supervision needs to be strictly controlled. Many architects in the world have a special liking for fair-faced concrete. The stock exchange in France in the 18th century has been converted into a gallery by artists, and this kind of fair-faced concrete is also used. technology.

Forty-five-year-old Pierre Brognier is also a well-known person in the art world, but the artworks he participated in creating were not paintings and sculptures, but the museum itself. The cement he provided had a similar Bone-gray like white bones, this color is like white paper, which does not interfere with the viewer's vision and achieves the effect of highlighting the work itself.

Now the artist has been "kidnapped" by Crimean to Gongsei's house. Sitting on the sofa opposite him is Severus. The weird boy who grew up in Spider End Alley has grown into an adult. Because he has been the head of Slytherin for more than ten years, his behavior has gained an aristocratic coercion, and no one can see the shabby look he once had when he was wearing his mother's shirt.

If he didn't speak, no one would say anything, even though the house belonged to Count Leroy. Pierre's forehead was covered with sweat under this invisible pressure.

"Is it hot?" Severus asked softly.

"No..." Pierre said out of habit.

Then Severus waved his wand lightly, and a cool breeze immediately blew in the room.

"How did you do that?" Severus lowered his wand.

"I didn't do it," Pierre said in accented English.

"What didn't you do?" Severus asked.

"I did not let the wind blow," trembled Pierre.

"So, you admit that you lost the chess piece?" Severus said in a long tone.

"Yes." Pierre replied firmly.

"Who told you to do that?" Severus asked.

"He didn't allow me to tell you his name, but he asked me to bring you a message." Pierre said, "Do you want to listen?"

"Say it."

"As long as you are willing to give up, he can tell you where the 'treasures' are hidden, and they will be enough for you to live like a king."

"What treasure?" Gong Saiyi asked.

"I don't know, I'm just responsible for delivering letters." Pierre wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve.

There was silence in the living room for a while.

"Do you know who you are serving?" Severus asked.

"I know," said Pierre.

"Speak out and listen."

"Some dangerous people."

"I can 'play a little joke' with you, but you'd better not play tricks, Mr. Broniard." Severus said slickly.

Pierre sneered and looked at Felix.

"I was just like you." Pierre looked at Felix and said, "Then someone asked me on the street if I would like to change my destiny. I didn't choose to say no like others, and then I became Me now."

"What price did you pay?" Felix asked.

"I had a vasectomy. I won't have children of my own in the future." Pierre said. "In the future, the property I run will be handed over to my 'nephew', just like my 'uncle' handed over his property to It’s the same with me. I have no relatives or friends. Do you think the price I paid is worth it?”

"Isn't it too early to say this to a 13-year-old child?" Gong Saiyi whispered.

"What do you think, boy?" Pierre asked, staring at Felix.

Felix didn't answer.

"How did you discover me? I remember you didn't notice me at all that day." Pierre said to Severus again.

"Do you know what that is?" Severus gestured to him to look at the pensieve.

"I know." Pierre said, "When the Tsar entered Paris, he also looked for Napoleon's treasures, the spoils he robbed from Italy in addition to the paintings."

"It can help people sort out their thoughts, and we have also experienced some guidance." Severus said, "I didn't expect that we would find you. What else do you know?"

"I am a discarded piece like those chess pieces. Even if I die, there will be a special team of lawyers to transfer the property under my name to the name of my "nephew". My task is similar to that of a messenger boy. How much do you think I know? Sir." Pierre finally asked in French.

"Are you French?" Severus asked.

"We all know that Prince Napoleon has a branch in the United States. Charles Bonaparte and I are classmates. We can speak fluent French, but we are not French." Pierre smiled and said, "Are you satisfied with what I said?"

"Are you not married?" Severus asked.

"You mean marrying a French woman? No, but I was married to an American woman."

"Why did you break up?"

"She told me she was pregnant."

Concei was drinking water, and Pierre's words almost choked him.

"You didn't tell her about your surgery?" Severus said with a smile.

"We were still children at that time." Pierre said helplessly.

"Can you leave the contact information of that law firm?" Severus said.

Pierre asked Consei for a piece of paper, and then wrote down the lawyer's contact information on the paper with the gold pen he carried with him.

"Keep in touch." Severus said to Pierre after letting Consei take the paper.

Pierre, who was dressed well, stood up.

"Divorce is not the end of the world." Pierre said to Severus, "Look, am I not living a good life now?"

"I have my own judgment on whether a person is living a good life or a bad life, Mr. Bronniart. Since you think you are living a good life, then I congratulate you." Severus said with a fake smile.

Pierre's face showed a brief surprise.

"I'll take you back to your work place," said Crimian, and then he grabbed Pierre's arm and Apparated.

"Will you accept it?" Conseil asked, "There must be a lot of wealth hidden there."

"Alexander I should have moved the wealth in the treasury to other places before Napoleon invaded Moscow. It's not worth it." Severus said decisively and resolutely, "When Crimian comes back, we will go to find the lawyer."

"Can you take the key first?" Felix begged.

"I'll go," Conseil said, "I know the place."

Severus didn't say anything, and Conseil took it as his acquiescence, then he pointed his wand at the fireplace, and then used the Floo powder to leave the living room.

"Am I also a pawn to you?" Felix asked Severus.

Severus sneered, "I am worse than a discarded child. I am a tissue for wiping noses. Someone soiled me to make himself clean, and then threw me away after using me. The white wizard has a hobby of transforming people. He has always hoped to turn a Slytherin into a Gryffindor. Sirius Black's whole family is Slytherin, but he entered Gryffindor College."

"Did he succeed?"

"Black went to Azkaban, and then I became his target, but I was still a Slytherin after all. He was very disappointed, but what made him feel more disappointed was Pomona, because she slept with me." Severus smiled smugly and said, "He disgusted me. In comparison, Sirius Black was a better choice than me, but it was a pity that Black was killed by his kind godson."

"Why does he think Sirius Black is better than you?" Felix asked puzzledly.

"Handsome, rich and easy to control. Black planned to murder me when he was in school, but he failed. In his and James Potter's eyes, I am the real 'mudblood'."

"Because you are of humble origin?" Felix asked.

"Because I am poor and ugly, my mother is also a noble, and Lily's parents are just commoners."

"Lily is a girl." Felix said, "Girls are always different."

"Yes, they always pretend in front of girls, and only show their true colors in front of boys." Severus laughed sarcastically, "Do you think Gryffindor is a college for warriors?"

Felix shook his head, "That sounds like a college for people with strong limbs and simple minds."

Severus laughed.

At this time, Crimean came back.

"What's so funny?" He asked with interest.

"Did you remember to use the forgetfulness spell on Pierre?" Severus smiled and said, "Be careful not to touch the International Statute of Secrecy."
